Adaptive Resonance Theory, or ART, is a cognitive and neural theory of how the brain
autonomously learns to categorize, recognize, and predict objects and events in a changing …

Neurons in early visual cortical areas not only represent incoming visual information but are
also engaged by higher level cognitive processes, including attention, working memory …

Information Visualization: Perception for Design, Fourth Edition explores the art and science
of why we see objects the way we do. Based on the science of perception and vision, the …

Our visual system segments images into objects and background. Figure-ground
segregation relies on the detection of feature discontinuities that signal boundaries between …

Background What roles do the different cortical layers play in visual processing? We
recorded simultaneously from all layers of the primary visual cortex while monkeys …

In crowding, the perception of a target strongly deteriorates when neighboring elements are
presented. Crowding is usually assumed to have the following characteristics.(a) Crowding …

The hard problem of consciousness is the problem of explaining how we experience qualia
or phenomenal experiences, such as seeing, hearing, and feeling, and knowing what they …

The lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) has often been treated in the past as a linear filter that
adds little to retinal processing of visual inputs. Here we review anatomical …

Advanced computer vision mechanisms have been inspired by neuroscientific findings.
However, with the focus on improving benchmark achievements, technical solutions have …

How are laminar circuits of neocortex organized to generate conscious speech and
language percepts? How does the brain restore information that is occluded by noise, or …
